SONY NV-U73T 4.3" 4.3" Portable Navigation System

We had to rely on paper maps or we would have went very far out of the way in several instances.

Great screen, good user interface, good voice guide

Poor routing. Tries to make you take business loops. Some new roads are missing. The search function won't find roads with spaces. I needed Longshore Dr and in the unit it was spelled incorrectly as Long Shore Dr. I never did find it till I got home...

Works good

99.9% I buy from newegg. I love the service and the price. But ABC warehouse had this on sale for $219.00. Got it yesterday. No problems with getting a satellite connection. Good street recognition. Easy to set up. The TMC antenna is external but not...

Had to order a updated map and firmware update from sony. Free of charge but it is a week away. Can't download

Not Bad

It's a pretty decent. I wish the antenna cable was shorter instead of having it go to the end of the windshield. I just used a few zip ties to bundle the wire and placed the antenna directly behind the unit instead of the end of the windshield.

Bright screen and great colors. Pretty accurate with directions (at times). Has most new locations loaded which is great because I live in new development. Suction cup mount is awesome. It pronounces the street names pretty well. Auto dimming is cool...

Not really a con but I wish it had an internal antenna, but I knew what I was getting into. Takes a few minutes for it to get satellite signals

Just reach faster then.... ”

Used this product for 3 months, got very little good use out of it. Took too long to find address, very slow responding, had to find directions without it. Screen was not responding appropriately, had to press a little too hard in times due to it...

A marriage saver! ”

Thank goodness for this Sony Nav-U GPS unit! My husband and I buy and sell antiques and collectibles, and to restock our inventory, we frequently go to early morning estate sales and auctions in areas that we are not familiar with. We program in our...

Sony NV-U73T is dependable and accurate. ”

Satellite acquisition is near instant, and route calculation is fast. It is accurate and the lane advisor is a big help in WV where lanes just disappear. Route selection isn't perfect but it's quick to recalculate if you go off course. The screen is...

Sony U73T: Don't buy it!

I just bought the Sony U73T GPS/Navigation system from a local Radio Shack store. I walked in the store without a clue about GPS system. I didn't consult anyone nor read reviews online. I just want an easy use GPS system, so that I would not stop at...

DOA no sound
